(About Us)

We love tough problems and bold ideas.

Taking on ambitious projects means the work is complex, technical and sometimes messy. That's exactly where we’re most comfortable.

We work with those who are pushing boundaries in ways that genuinely enhance the human experience. We love shaping the brands and systems that support these ideas, and care deeply about how they show up in the real world.

(Approach)

Systems thinking meets practical innovation.

We begin by understanding context: the organization, the technology, the pressures shaping decisions, and the audiences that matter most. From there we focus on building the systems and touch points that audiences will interact with, combining innovative techniques with objective-focused strategies to deliver memborable experiences. 

(Our Process)

Clarity and impact above all else.

We work closely with founders, executives and internal teams, contributing strategic thinking and design leadership without unnecessary process. The goal is always the same: clarity that compounds, credibility that lasts, and systems that remain useful under real-world conditions.

01

Context & Alignment

Understanding what’s being built, who it’s for, and where existing systems fall short.
02

System Definitions

Clarifying structure, priorities, and the points of leverage that matter most.
03

Design & Implementation

Translating strategy into durable brand and digital systems.
04

Stewardship

Ongoing guidance to protect coherence as teams grow and conditions change.

You'll find us here.

Our work spans industries, but the pattern is consistent. We partner with senior leaders at organizations building advanced, non-trivial technology and innovative products that meaningfully shapes how people live and experience the world. 

The common thread isn’t industry, it’s innovation with real stakes, growing expectations, and the need to build something that holds up.

Eric Elliot, founder

Founded by Eric Elliot

With a background spanning brand identity, digital systems, and front-end development, Eric brings a rare combination of strategic judgment and hands-on execution. Over the past decade, he’s worked with organizations ranging from global brands to emerging technology companies, including Samsung, Ducati, Exelon and Piaggio Group, often during periods of growth, transition, and increased scrutiny.

That experience shapes the studio’s ethos today: thoughtful systems, clear decisions, and work designed to support meaningful ideas as they move into the world.
